Safety notes

Notes on mobile unit use
Do not use the mobile unit in environments where there
is danger of explosion (for example, a paint shop).
Research has shown that electronic devices,
such as medical equipment, can be affected by the
mobile unit. Local safety regulations must therefore
be observed!
The mobile unit is not suitable for people with hearing
aids since the radio signals interfere with hearing aids,
producing a very unpleasant humming sound if the vol-
ume is turned up too high.
Do not use mobile units in damp environments (bath-
room). The units are not splashproof.
If you lend your mobile unit to someone else, please
make sure that you include the operating instructions
with it.
Notes on battery use
Only use approved nickel-cadmium batteries (NiCd
batteries) or nickel-metal-hydride batteries (NiMH),
see page 18.
Never use other batteries or normal (non-recharge-
able) batteries. These batteries can cause short-cir-
cuits and may be subject to damage (dangerous).
Read the symbols in the battery compartment of the
mobile unit.
Avoid contact with water and fire.
Do not use non-Siemens charging devices. This
could damage the batteries.
Only use the supplied plug-in power supply unit as
designated on the underside of the charging shell.
Please dispose of defective batteries, the mobile hand-
set and the charging shell in accordance with the envi-
ronmental specifications.
Use rechargeable batteries only and
observe polarity.
